.453 Are corrosion procedures established for:
$ Design                
$ Operations                
$ Installation                
$ Maintenance                
.455 (a) For pipelines installed after July 31, 1971, buried segments must be externally coated and
               
(b) cathodically protected within one year after construction (see exceptions in code)
(c) Aluminum may not be installed in a buried or submerged pipeline if exposed to an environment
               
with a natural pH in excess of 8 (see exceptions in code)
.457 (a) All effectively coated steel transmission pipelines installed prior to August 1, 1971, must be
               
cathodically protected
(b) If installed before August 1, 1971, cathodic protection must be provided in areas of active
corrosion for: bare or ineffectively coated transmission lines, and bare or coated c/s, regulator                
sta., meter sta. piping, and (except for cast iron or ductile iron) bare or coated distribution lines.
.459 Examination of buried pipeline when exposed: if corrosion is found, further investigation is required                
.461 Procedures must address the protective coating requirements of the regulations. External coating
               
on the steel pipe must meet the requirements of this part.
.463 Cathodic protection level according to Appendix D criteria                
.465 (a) Pipe-to-soil monitoring (1 per yr/15 months)                
(b) Rectifier monitoring (6 per yr/2½ months)                
(c) Interference bond monitoring (as required)                
(d) Prompt remedial action to correct any deficiencies indicated by the monitoring                
.465 (e) Electrical surveys (closely spaced pipe to soil) on bare/unprotected lines, cathodically protect
               
active corrosion areas (1 per 3 years/39 months)
.467 Electrical isolation (include casings)                
.469 Sufficient test stations to determine CP adequacy                
.471 Test lead maintenance                
.473 Interference currents                
.475 (a) Proper procedures for transporting corrosive gas?                
(b) Removed pipe must be inspected for internal corrosion. If found, the adjacent pipe must be
inspected to determine extent. Certain pipe must be replaced. Steps must be taken to minimize                
internal corrosion.
.477 Internal corrosion control coupon (or other suit. Means) monitoring (2 per yr/7½ months)                
.479 (a) Each exposed pipe must be cleaned and coated (see exceptions under .479(c))                
Offshore splash zones and soil-to-air interfaces must be coated                
(b) Coating material must be suitable                
Coating is not required where operator has proven that corrosion will:
(c) (1) Only be a light surface oxide, or

(2) Not affect safe operation before next scheduled inspection                
.481 (a) Atmospheric corrosion control monitoring (1 per 3 yrs/39 months onshore)                
.481 (b) Special attention required at soil/air interfaces, thermal insulation, under disbonded coating, pipe
               
supports, splash zones, deck penetrations, spans over water
.481 (c) Protection must be provided if atmospheric corrosion is found (per §192.479)                
.483 Replacement and required pipe must be coated and cathodically protected (see code for exceptions)                
.485 (a) Procedures to replace pipe or reduce the MAOP if general corrosion has reduced the wall
               
thickness?
(b) Procedures to replace/repair pipe or reduce MAOP if localized corrosion has reduced wall
               
thickness (unless reliable engineering repair method exists)?
(c) Procedures to use Rstreng or B-31G to determine remaining wall strength?
.487 Remedial measures (distribution lines other than cast iron or ductile iron)                
.489 Remedial measures (cast iron and ductile iron pipelines)
